The Screen Actors Guild has handed out the ensemble award 21 times (SAG only began giving out ensemble awards in 1996), but of the films that were awarded the honour only 11 went on to land best picture at the Oscars (52%).

Still, actors, the largest group in the Academy of Motion Pictures, hold considerable sway. (SAG, though, is much larger, with about 160,000 members, compared to about 1,200 actors in the academy.)  

Individual film SAG nominees have historically aligned about four-out-of-five with Oscar acting categories.  

Nominees are selected by separate movie and TV nominating panels, each comprised of more than 2,000 randomly selected SAG members.
